More on Sam: 

 As a Life Member of the PGA of America, Sam has over thirty years of experience working with golfers of all ability levels from tour players to beginners. Sam developed a very simple approach to teaching/coaching the golf swing and believe's one of the biggest problems today is the focus on how your swing should look vs how well it can work. It should all start with impact position and work back. Keeping it simple and optimizing your swing is more important than changing it to look like someone’s image of the perfect swing.

More on Mark: 

Growing up around legends Moe Norman and George Knudson, Mark recognized early his intense desire to understand the golf swing. Studying the philosophies of greats such as Homer Kelly and Persey Boomer, Mark created his own unique teaching style based on the premise that knowledge, rather than muscle memory, is the path to success. From that evolved Evershed’s theory on the golf swing: a teaching system consisting of Online Video lessons, training devices, books and personalized instruction. His method has led to an impressive list of credentials, such as teaching several PGA Tour players, being honored as Canadian Teacher of the Year, and TV appearances including The Golf Channel and Canada’s Rogers Sportsnet.
